God is in control

"The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all" Psalms 103:19.

The current pandemic of coronavirus has generated a lot of talks among Christians and not conspiracy theorists about the upcoming change in the world. Possible global government, massive chipping, one currency, persecution and many more. Well, it's possible. The world has undergone various stages in politics. Various power groups struggled to gain global power. And there are some ideas regarding that in the Bible (book of revelation). However, as a Christian I am really more interested in what God is doing than what various power hungry groups are. 

You know, God never left this earth. He created it. The earth belongs to Him. Nothing happens in the world without His knowledge, and nothing will. He is still on the throne and He is still in control. Jesus Christ is the Savior of our souls and the day is approaching when He is coming back to the earth as the King of kings. That's why I am more interested in God's politics, than the world politics. God is moving things. We are approaching to the end times and we should be more worried about states of our souls than about the state of politics. It's ok to follow that too, but do we see that God is above everything and one day His kingdom will reign forever, and it will never have an end? Even if ungodliness manages to climb on the throne of the global politics, it will be for a short season. God will take over from there. We have to keep serving God and true King Jesus, who will reign forever. Let's keep our focus on God and get courage and peace from Him, even if things might get for the worse. Have faith in God, because eventually, He will visibly rule the world. I am waiting for that type of President. 

Unshakable kingdom

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear" Hebrews 12:28.

Trials and life tests shake everything that can be shaken in our lives. Anything that is not built on a solid foundation will collapse. It looks like the current situation with the Corona Virus is the time when things are being shaken around the world and everybody is affected. People are getting scared and they panic. The mass media is spreading the panic even more. There is a lot of uncertainty. People are wondering how is the pandemic going to end, when, and how things will get back to normal. Fortunately, a bad thing may serve a good purpose. People can start asking questions about meaning in life, their existence, God. And Christians should be ready to help them with the answers. Why?

Because we believe in an unshakable kingdom, where Jesus Christ reigns as King of kings, and Lord of lords. If you believe in Jesus, and you are His disciple, you are a citizen of the kingdom that will last forever. Empires come and go, and so do their rulers. Nothing last forever, except eternal God and his eternal/unshakable kingdom. If you build your life on His word, you really build on a solid foundation. This foundation will hold when trials, storms, and tests come. Let's build our lives on a solid rock - Jesus Christ. 

Jesus Took the Form of a Servant

“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men” Philippians 2:7. 

The King of Kings and Savior came to His people (Israel) and they did not recognize Him. There are a number of reasons why, but the main one will probably be that they expected Him to come like a real king with political power. He did not bring that at the time. Christ came as a servant. He was born in a manger with a poor family, not in the king’s house. He is King, but not with a worldly heart. He is different from others. His heart is full of love and compassion, not pride and indifference. That’s the type of King I want to serve!
